Measuring your insult about others mental abilities ?

Many on YA throw insults about other questioners and answerers mental abilities eg you 'Retard' / 'imbecile' / 'idiot' / 'moron' without realising that there is an area of IQ that each of these terms decribes.

Moron for instance was once applied to people with an IQ of 51-70 and was a step up from imbecile (IQ of 26-50) and two steps up from idiot (IQ of 0-25). Retard breaks down as follows - Profound mental retardation IQ Below 20
Severe mental retardation IQ of 20–34
Moderate mental retardation IQ of 35–49
Mild mental retardation IQ of 50–69
Borderline mental retardation IQ of 70–79

So before you call another YA user a moron', retard etc just think could they have an IQ that low

Have you ever had your IQ measured and what was it - be honest ?
